I’ve just bought an iPod and my friend told me about something called a Podcast. What is it?

A Podcast is basically a modern take on the radio show format. It’s available on the internet and you can download and listen to them at any time you want. The show can be about virtually any subject and they can be made by anyone with a computer and a microphone.

Podcasts are usually in mp3 format and can be played back on any mp3 player, it doesn’t have to be an iPod to play a podcast.

Podcasts are very interesting I download a lot that I listen to weekly while I’m traveling long distances. iTunes has a lot of podcasts listed on its pages.
